Translator: 549690339
It was the soldier that Naosuke had sent to lead them out of the prison a week ago.
Although Naosuke himself was not present for such a small and medium-sized event, he was lucky to have met his core subordinate who happened to be on duty.
With this primer, the rest was much simpler.
It just so happened that the concert had come to an end. It should be the intermission period, so the turnover of the staff was relatively high. Many of the samurai who were practicing the great ceremony were busy, so no one paid attention to him.
However, just as Liao Xuan was about to quietly stop the subordinate.
All of a sudden, something strange happened on the stage.
“Thank you, everyone, for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit Akino today! How did everyone feel about Akino’s performance in the first half? If she could bring happiness and relaxation to everyone, then it would be the greatest happiness for Akino! ”
“There’s still a wonderful performance in the second half. I hope everyone won’t miss it. After singing for such a long time, her mouth and tongue were a little dry and her throat was very thirsty. There must be a lot of people like her, right?
“But fortunately! There was a special drink specially prepared for Akino’s fans! It was made from an exclusive secret recipe of tea mixed with milk. Not only was it refreshing, but it also had a strong mellow fragrance. Every time Akino felt tired, she would immediately be full of energy after taking a small sip!
The beautiful girl in cute clothes on the stage said as she took a cup of milk tea from the backstage staff as if she was performing a magic trick.
“If anyone needs it, you can buy it over there –
After Akino Sugaya took a sip, she revealed a sweet smile like the milk tea in her hand. She pointed to the exclusive beverage selling spot in the venue for the enthusiastic fans below the stage.
In Liao Zixuan’s eyes, this was just a very common act of bringing goods. However, for the people of the Thousand Islands who had not seen much of the world, the effect was absolutely overwhelming. After all, this had been confirmed on the Blue Planet. It was said that the higher the influence, the more goods they brought in a day could be compared to others for a year or even a few years.
The sudden incident that interrupted Liao Zixuan’s operation also began here.
Stinky woman, get off the stage! Don’t use your inferior drinks to cheat people here! “A middle-aged man suddenly flashed past the security personnel of the Grand Ceremony and rushed to the front of the stage.
He directly knocked away the drink cup in Akino Sugaya’s hand and crushed it under his feet.
Due to the sudden incident, no one could react in time. The candidate for the Divine Wizard on the stage, Akino Sugaya, seemed to be scared silly.
“Everyone, listen to me. Don’t be deceived! Their drinks were made with the worst quality, even broken raw materials, but they were sold at a price several times higher than the market price. You…”Every time you buy an extra cup of this thing, not only are you harming your own bodies, but you’re also encouraging these black-hearted people who use the name of the Divine Wizard…Ah, let go of me, let go of me. Wuwuwu…”
The man was only halfway through his angry words when the Grand Fuxi
Practitioners below the stage reacted and instantly went up to subdue him.
The huge commotion here attracted Liao Zixuan’s original target, the squad leader. He hurriedly ran over to understand the situation.
The scene became chaotic. The team behind Sugaya Akino must have taken emergency measures and announced that the second half of the performance was canceled. At the same time, the Grand Fujikuru also forcefully began to evacuate the crowd.
The man’s words on the stage had not only failed to wake them up, but had instead angered the crowd. Many people were angry that he had slandered their idol and that Akino had attacked them rudely. If the Grand Fuxi Priest had not dismissed them, the matter would have blown up.
As for Liao Zixuan and Kasumiko, although they were part of the audience, they had to leave the venue quickly under the order of the Grand Priest. However, just like Kasumiko’s excited and expectant gaze when she looked at him.
Liao Zixuan concealed his whereabouts. After making a slight detour, he brought Kasumi Akiko and quickly chased after the troublemaker man that Sugaya Akino’s team and the leader of the Omokushiro Squad had escorted away.
“Ah! How annoying! How did you good-for-nothings do things? How could you let that lunatic go on stafe!”
In a luxurious carriage that looked like a circus, the young girl who had been lovable on the stage was now sitting on the main chair with her legs crossed.
Her original charming posture was completely gone, replaced by a face full of frustration and anger.
‘ S-sorry, Miss Akino. It was our carelessness. We thought that there was a great ceremony to watch over us, so…” One of the servants, who looked like a butler, lowered his head and apologized continuously in the spacious carriage.
However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Akino Sugaya.
“Just what? I’ve told you many times that I have to have my own personal guards when I go out. For a public figure like me, a situation like today might happen again in the future!
“Hmph, I don’t know what you’re thinking. Isn’t it just to save some stinky money…Let me tell you, if anything happens to me, without me, how are you going to make money?”
“Yes, yes.” Definitely. I’ll arrange it immediately. “The butler was so scolded that he could not raise his head.
The woman was still wearing the cute and zither costume that was used for performances. Unfortunately, her current words and actions were completely unrelated to her, as if she had changed into another person.
“It’s already tiring enough to pretend every day and face the trash at the bottom of society. Now, we’re even making such a scene…lf it wasn’t for your promise to send me abroad to tour in the winter, I wouldn’t have done it!
‘ Yes, yes, yes. Miss Akino, please rest assured about this. We have an agreement with the Winter Kingdom. After you become a Divine Wizard, you will be the same as the other winners of each competition. We will find someone to replace you. You don’t have to suffer in that damned Abyssal Sea.”
“All the procedures regarding you have been completed in the winter. Once we have earned enough money from the reputation of the Divine Wizard in the Thousand Islands, we will immediately leave the country.
Under the comfort of the housekeeper, she could also imagine her own glory and wealth in the cold winter. Sugaya Akino finally looked a little better. “Alright, in short, earning money is still the first priority, but…” The young girl hesitated for a moment before asking,”
“Is what that lunatic who rushed up to the stage said true or false? Are the products that you used my name to sell really inferior?”
“No, of course not! We’re supplying the same drink to Miss Akino, how can it be inferior! “the butler said quickly.
It was a pity that Akino did not see the panic that the butler was trying to hide.
“That’s true…You don’t even have the guts! But I’ll warn you again. You can sell it at an expensive price. After all, it’s a product that I endorse, but you can’t have any problems with the quality, especially in terms of safety. Do you hear
Of course, of course. Miss Akino, we’ve vented our anger. Outside the carriage, there are people from the Great Fu-chou Sect who are still waiting with the criminal. According to the procedure, I’ll have to trouble Miss Akino to deal with it a little. Just do an oral investigation and leave the rest to us!”” “Sigh..
The arrogant girl with her legs crossed sighed and jumped down from the chair. She walked out of the carriage. However, the moment she stepped out, the girl put away her previous irritated expression and changed it to a pitiful little girl who was still in shock.
However, neither Akino Sugaya, nor her butler and servants noticed the two people who were peeking at everything in the carriage from the bushes
outside..
